- George R.R. Martin’s world of Westeros from his “A Song of Ice and Fire” novels is one of the most sprawling fantasy universes ever created. There are countless complex characters (with confusing names) that lived across dozens of generations in which they fought, killed, allied, betrayed and had children with one another. Martin’s world has been explored on the page in the main “A Song of Ice and Fire” books, plus their supplementary novellas and history books, and on screen in HBO’s “Game of Thrones” and “House of the Dragon.”
For the majority of its known history, Westeros was ruled over by the Targaryens, a dynasty of powerful dragon riders that conquered the Seven Kingdoms and sat on the Iron Throne for hundreds of years. They were blonde-haired, oftentimes hot-tempered and protected their bloodline by practicing incest. Their first king was Aegon the Conqueror, who united Westeros under Targaryen rule for the first time, and the modern era after his reign was known as “AC” for “After Conquest.”
The majority of the Targaryens died out before the events of “Game of Thrones,” and their lineage nearly ended after Robert Baratheon took the Iron Throne with Robert’s Rebellion. For nearly the entire series, Daenerys Targaryen plotted to take back the crown and grew an army in the neighboring continent of Essos. However, in the series finale, Daenerys was killed by Jon Snow, who was revealed to be a long-lost Targaryen in a twist that fans of the novels had long predicted. As it stands, Jon is the only Targaryen left in Westeros.
“House of the Dragon,” a prequel to “Game of Thrones” set 200 years earlier, explores the infamous Dance of the Dragons in Targaryen history. It was a civil war that pitted Targaryens against each other and resulted in the deaths of many of the family’s dragons. It was a result of the murky line of succession after King Viserys Targaryen died and his rightful heir was heavily disputed. Two factions fought the Dance of Dragons: The blacks consisted of Rhaenyra and Daemon Targaryen along with their children and allies; and the greens were led by King Aegon II Targaryen, his mother Queen Alicent Hightower, their family and the High Council in King’s Landing.
Below, Variety has listed a family tree of every Targaryen that has so far appeared in “Game of Thrones” and “House of the Dragon” Season 1. There are no future spoilers for what could happen in “House of the Dragon” Season 2, though curious fans can read the novel “Fire & Blood” to find out.
Baratheons had Valyrian blood since it was founded by Orys Baratheon, the half-brother of Aegon the Conqueror.
and also some Valyrian blood from Queen Alyssa Velaryon
the rumors said he's ageon half brother but it's never proven
@@Aeg0r I'm telling u bro, GRRM would no anything he wants 🤣, he don't give a fck about what people wanted.
@@AhmadSaifudin116 Oh I thought I read that he was one of Aerion Targaryen's bastards
You forgot Daeron
I know you did not just blah blah blah khaleesi’s name 😭🤣
not her name, her long-winded list of titles, most of which has ZERO bearing on anythign Westerosi
@@ZakhadWOW I think the frustration comes from how the show ended. All that BS for nothing. Just to die by your own blood.
When I saw the thumbnail I laughed so hard, then I watched the video. Great job!
You forgot Rhaena and Baela Targaryen
nicely done!
It would be great if you also included the tree for Targaryen rumored bloodlines (like Aemond’s descendants cough cough 😂)
Do make another Dinosaurs size
Some of the images would be replaced with faces that will be shown in the Dunk and Egg show: Aerion, Maekar, Duncan etc
Maybe include another New mythical creatures size comparison
Interesting how Hightower Targs line died out in favour of Velayron line through Aegon 3. Guessing Grrm favours blacks over greens
BRUH!!! HE invented this world, characters, cultures and animals, he gets to write about it as he wishes!
LOL funny how green suporters are now to calling out the writer himself for favouring Blacks.
its like calling out the writer for giving targs dragons and nobody else.
While the Blacks win in the end, this isn’t the Velayron line. Aegon III was daemon and Rhaenyra’s son. So he’s all Targ.
@@Jellyroll2I'm talking post Aegon Dragonbane, he marries Aegon the 2nd's daughter to merge the two feuding sides. But didn't Jaehaera get (rumour) killed by Unwin Peake so Aegon remarries a Velayron.
Its through his Velayron wife that we get Baelor the blessed and Daeron the Young, not his HIghtower related wife
@@samanyupalthi Who said I'm a green supporter. It wasn't a complaint but just observation. He likes to keep the blood of the dragon pure
@@crashglassbar5879 he did remarry but I can’t remember if it was to a Velaryon. I don’t know who that would have been. But you may be right and I just don’t remember. Can’t think of any female Velaryons old enough to marry him when he remarried. Unless it’s one of Baela and Alyn’s kids. Could also just be a family member from the books I don’t remember
You use different photo on the same people.
There's a mistake with Rhaenyra's kids you've listed- you've put 2 Lucerys' 😅 you forgot Joffrey
Also forgot to mention Daemon and Laena's children (from before he married Rhaenyra)
Not much creativity when it came to names huh? No wonder their lineage has died out. Every other generation has a Aegon Targaryen. And there's like a dozen Jaeherys & a dozen Aemon. LMAO
Curious, shouldn't Jon Snow have the platinum-white hair since his father is a Targaryen?
According to the books, the white hair in Targaryen family is a recessive gene and is often put aside when ancestors of darker hair are in play. This could be the case of Jon Snow inheriting darker hair like his mother's Lyanna's, but also Rhaenyra's children (which in the show are presumed to be Strong's bastards), whose hair could be inherited from their grand-grandmother, Jorcycelny Baratheon (mother of Rhaenys, the queen who never was)
The seed is strong
Someone else said something about genes already, but Rhaenys the queen who never was had black baratheon hair in the books and not the white hair she does in the show. Showing Targ’s can lose their white hair even if their mixed.
@@kmovsky The Targaryeb white hair IS NOT RECESSIVE according to the books.... stop spreading misinformation. It's actually dominant in a lot of cases. Just that the Strong Seed such as the Baratheons might prevail. Most kids they had with the Martells, the Starks and the Blackwoods had always white hair. If they were recessive, none of the kids, grankids etc would have white hair anymore with all the dark hair blood coming into the family.
@@kmovsky You are wrong you are assuming all genes work like the Baratheons. It doesnt. The Valyrian genes are dominant. The only exception is the Baratheons which are even more dominant. The Targaryens marry Martells, Blackwoods etc and have kids with silver hair. Even Rhaenys kids have white Valyrian hair in spite of her having predominantly dark hair.
I thought Jon Snow's real ñame was Aemon Targaeron II??
This Is incorrect because the mother and father of the conquerors are vaelena velaryon and aerion Targaryen you have avoid 6 generation of lord and lady Targaryen
WWE bloodline references?
😂
By the way the rock explained the samoan bloodline tree in feb 8 2024 in wrestlemania 40 kickoff show.
8:44 Lol.
Its Lara Rogare not Lara Lograre
Where are the Blackfyres
Jon snow is no Targaryen
Yet?!? Only GRRM knows for sure 😊. But yeah, it would be pretty dumb if Rhaegar had two sons named Aegon.
Technically Jon Snow has been dead for 13 years.
8:43 blah blah blah 😂😂😂
Funny how some suddenly changed colour. I smell bastard
you missed Daron - Alicent 3rd son.
And thatnks for spoiling the Dance of the dragon end....
long live daenerys targaryen
💯👍
i disliked the moment u counted jon snow as a targaryen
If he's not a Targaryen, then wtf is he?
Me too.
@@Red-90 Jon muh qween
Your coment doesnt make sense.. Jon is half targaryen, same as Rhaenys or most of the "Green team".
He is a targaryen his fader was a true blood targaryen
you did Daenyrs dirty by adding "blah blah blah" to it's name lmaaaooo 😂
